REFRIGERATORSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen ifthe instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water (on some

models).

ProperDisposal ofYour OldRefrigerator

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

- even ifthey will sit for "just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:.

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging Materials

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap

over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These

products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."

On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.

Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

Depending on your model, to remove the protective (transparent) film that is on the nameplate, which is located on the freezer handle, use your fingernail and peel off the film,

starting from one side and peeling to the other. There are 4 bolts that secure the refrigerator to the shipping

case. Keep these bolts because they are the refrigerator's leveling legs.

• Properly dispose of packaging. IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that

is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator

and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move

it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Refrigerator Care."

important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2" (12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

• Level the refrigerator. See "Door Closing."

NOTE:Donotinstalltherefrigeratornearanoven,radiator,or otherheatsource,norinalocationwherethetemperaturewillfall below55°F(13°C).

,, I lr--I

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord, Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an

extension cord. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting.

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFE

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7_6"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 1/4"nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa)

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Read all directions carefully before you begin. IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line

is connected, turn the ice maker OFE

Connecting to Water Line:

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

Find a 1/2"(1.27 cm) to 11/4'' (3.18 cm) vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for

cleaning. Use 1/4"(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly inthe 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to Refrigerator:

NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your

refrigerator is different depending on the type of water valve provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams below to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit instructions.)

1. For Style 1, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert the copper tubing through the clamp, as shown. Remove the tape label from the valve inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out (approximately %"

[1.9 cm]). Tighten nut by hand as much as possible; then turn the nut an additional 1/2turn using a wrench. Do not

overtighten. Reattach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to Step 2.

For Style 2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert copper tubing through the clamp as shown. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Reattach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Move to Step 2.

2. Turn shutoff valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that

leak.

3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer should be installed in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either

tube connection.

4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

TOOLS NEEDED: 5/16"hex-head socket wrench, No 2 Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, 5/16"open-end wrench, flat

2" putty knife. IMPORTANT:

• Before you begin, turn the refrigerator control OFE Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

• Remove food and any adjustable door or utility bins from doors.

• If you are only removing and replacing the doors, see the "Door and Hinge Removal" and "Door and Hinge Replacement" sections.

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers - one on the right and one on the left. Ifyour refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using

the instructions below:

Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check the floor at the back from side to side. If needed, use shims to level the

back of the refrigerator if it is uneven. Roll the refrigerator back into place with the rear rollers on top of any shim(s) used so that the rear of the refrigerator is level.

With the rear already level and the refrigerator in place, use the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator from side to side. They are part of the front roller assemblies, which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you may either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the

refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to lower that side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator to check adjustments.

Style I

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the

sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

• If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Style 2

If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the

back. To do this, turn both leveling screws clockwise 1/2turn. IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal amount

or the refrigerator will no longer be level side to side.

5. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.

6. Using a level, check to see that the refrigerator is still level side to side. Readjust if necessary.

REFRIGERATORUSE

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the

freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

In some models, cool air enters through the backwall of refrigerator section and moves to the front of the refrigerator and up into the freezer.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. See the "Refrigerator Features" section for details.

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset to the mid-settings as shown.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFR

Mid-setting "3"

IMPORTANT:

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice

cream is firm. If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

• To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is

made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

Ice Production Rate

NORMAL Ice Production: In Normal ice production mode, the ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

MAXIMUM Ice Production (on some models): In Maximum ice production, the ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to

MAX.
